had a convo with my mom yesterday about art critics who think everything has to be drawn photogenic and it's not realistic if it isn't. she mentioned a cloud she saw, that'd give you a bad grade in an art test if you drew it exactly how it looked irl because it didn't look like exactly what people deem a cloud should look like. and i think that can be said about a lot of things. sometimes things look different, sometimes they are fucked up a little, but the way ignorant people criticize things like that, especially in mediums like art that are more based on feeling than accuracy anyway, is such an infuriating thing to deal with

something something i need to write a longer post about honey's 'princess complex' that i make jabs at all the time because she absolutely does enjoy being pampered / treated like a princess by individuals, when people are choosing to do it, but she's completely disinterested in that kind of spoiling if it comes from a sense of obligation; or, indeed, subjugation.

...which has extra layers to it considering in a not-insignificant number of her iterations, (including her 'default'/'canon' setting), honey essentially... is royalty. her mother, adaline, is an archfey or similar relevant equivalent. hell, honey might even inherit/occupy that mantle, depending. (she has the power, potential, and form, regardless). but she would have very, very little interest in actually occupying that role, and whatever fanfare it brought with it.

to say the very least: freedom and agency are core elements of her character. they're the concepts which most thoroughly guide her moral / ethical compass at any given moment. she is, perhaps a bit selfishly, not only totally disinterested in the burden of responsibility which comes with actual 'royal' status, but also feels queasy at the thought of anyone treating her specially because of some birthright.

you should be treating her like a special, pretty pretty princess because she is pretty and fun and a 100% certified total babe, who is delicate and adorable and worthy of your pampering — not because her class, status, or title demands it. and only if you want to. (which you should want to. look at her. I certainly would want to)

#rambling. #details. #isms. #i don't generally conceptualize the court adaline comes from as being THAT monarchical to begin with. but. verses may vary. #all you need to know is honey wants to be princess of your heart. not princess of the realm. #'i need to write a longer post about this' [writes a fairly long post about it anyways].

As someone who was raised religious and ultimately lost my faith after experiencing/witnessing Real Bad Stuff in church I will almost always appreciate fiction inspired by people who were once religious and ultimately lost their faith after experiencing/witnessing Real Bad Stuff in church. It isn’t edgy or ‘poorly researched’ for someone to place their lived religious experience in their work just because someone doesn’t think it’s ‘biblically accurate’. No matter how many times someone whines “the Bible doesn’t say that” it doesn’t erase the very real abuse people suffered and we deserve to express it in our art.

It's mostly thinking about plural gatekeeping. I am very .. open? to how people come to be what they are.

The "KFF" to me are those who don't know much about fictionkin/otherkin community and see it as relating instead of something much odder. But it's interesting that there are people in those communities who do see themselves as the character. Spiritual kin, I think they often use. I think people's identities are valid.

The problem is mostly when people don't think kin = being, and try to make terms to say they really ARE whatever they say they are.

I think it would have been very cool and gnc of Darkstalker to call himself a Queen rather than king i think it would have been fun and cool. If we can have female Kings in fiction why not male Queens.

anyways its not even 7 am yet i did just wake up this thought ambushed me since i got notes on my “why are the dragon countries in wof called kingdoms if there are no kings?” post again anyways i think Darkstalker should have been queen of the nightwings thank you for coming to my unhinged ted talk.

Perspective is important

A rant about the general approach to typology and why it does more harm than good.

So, Instinctual variants has always been a bit controversial and hard to understand for people. Its the best theory to showcase the point I'm making because of its less direct nature. People, if they were synflow, would simply reject the synflow/contraflow dichotomy because it just "didn't make sense" which translated to: "I don't have it, so I can't understand it" Big obstacle for most people who try to get into it.

I found it easy, probably because it takes a lot of observation of others rather than taking people's word for it. Its not a clear cut set of descriptors of personality like enneagram, but a categorization of people's mental and social energy flows. The Se really helps me out here.

Instinctual variants, like the name suggests, are instinctual, lots of it is subconscious behavior but its very evident to other people. It shows in body language, adjustment to society, opinions, rather than set personality markers.

There used to be a theory talking about how the instincts develop based on survival needs, sx is pair bonding, so is community, and sp is basic survival. That was the idea. Personally, I never liked it much, but thats probably for my own lack of sp and the fact that I simply never viewed the world in terms of survival. Its very obvious this perspective was written by an sp-dom, and thats the thing, even if I have other problems with the survival idea -> like the overall lacking sp-blind descriptions because sp blindness inherently invalidates the association of sp=human drive for survival. ( I mean, erybody has that! Even sp-blinds!) or depicting sp-blinds as leaching off of others for survival, I still see the benefit because this perspective explains an sp-dom to me, someone I'm never gonna relate to, this is what they see in the world.

We should realize that the source of those descriptions basically give us an "in" to the brain of the author. Its much more valuable to me to dissect somebody's perspective. than somebody's personality. How their brain works, how they conceptualize things around them, how they're able to understand the world.

Logic is not objective, the things we consider to make sense don't make sense for another and their inability to understand our point doesn't translate to any lack of intelligence. It simply points towards a perspective so different, their way of making sense and understanding things is not comparable, and thats interesting. We need perspectives, we need different interpretations, we need to understand eachother, thats what typology is about for me. Not "who is more intelligent" and making a pissing contest out of it.

I encourage anyone to make their own theories, to make sense of things themselves, translate your world with the descriptors of typology and let other people begin to understand your perspective. Analysis is typology, no matter where you're coming from, as long as you're dissecting things and sorting them, I wish to know by what order the world works to you. What categories do you apply? What similarities do you see? Where do you recognize yourself? What do you find important?

Tell everyone! Write your own shit. Who cares.
